WEC moves race to accommodate Alonso

Fernando Alonso will be able to take a full part in the forthcoming World Endurance Championship season after organisers changed the date of the 6 Hours of Fuji.

After confirming that he would juggle a WEC season with his Formula One commitments earlier this month, Alonso had initially been due to miss the Japanese leg of the campaign due to a clash with the United States Grand Prix.

However, it was revealed on Friday that the race will now be staged on October 14 - a week before the F1 event in Austin, Texas.

The move allows Alonso to compete for Toyota Gazoo Racing at the team's home circuit.
